He has written multiple books about seaweed, including titles like Pacific Seaweeds: A Guide to Common Seaweeds of the West Coast and Cedar, Salmon, and Weed, a fictional story written about a town much like Bamfield, where he resides.

Louis has been featured in TIME, acknowledging the sheer amount of research and innovation he has contributed to understanding seaweed and kelp farming.
